I'm with you - I grew up in Texas, and never thought I'd end up here after college. Increasingly, I'm actually thinking that I'll never leave.
Don't forget FiOS when you are discussing internet connectivity options - they started their rollout in Keller, just north of Fort Worth, and still have a strong presence in many parts of Texas.
I really wish the lack of a statewide startup culture (and what could be done to fix it) could get more discussion. There's some notable activity in Austin, but - for a state that supposedly prides itself on entrepreneurship, business friendliness, "pulling yourself up by the bootsraps" and the like, there's not many startups here.
